Berthold Stein (1847–1899) was a Prussian botanist and lichenologist.[1][2] After working as a disciple[a] at the Botanical Garden in Berlin in 1865 he became superintendent[b] at the Innsbruck Botanical Garden. He held this position from 1873 to 1880, during which he also started to collect lichens. From 1880 to 1890 he was royal[3] superintendent at the University of Wrocław Botanical Garden. Based on a quote in 1879 by Stein himself[4] he can be considered as a student of Gustav Körber. His main area of interest was the flora of Silesia.[4][5][6]

He worked extensively on the taxonomy of the genera Masdevallia,[7] Pescatoria (as Pescatorea)[8] and Paphiopedilum[9] in the orchid family.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ References state this position as "Garteneleve", a German word which has apparently gone out of fashion. At least one source explicitly states that "eleve" doesn't translate as "Assistent". The website dict.cc translates it as "student" or "disciple"
  2. ^ References in German state this position as "Inspektor"
